Year 4
There are two classes in Year 4, Badgers and Frogs. In Badgers’ class, the class teacher is Miss Rehman and Frogs’ class teacher is Mrs Arfan. Supporting the learning in Year 4 we have Mrs Passman, Miss Reeves and Miss Clayton.
Our Ethos
The staff in Year 4 have high expectations of all learners and strive to nurture our children to become inquisitive lifelong learners, developing respect for their world and those around them. Throughout our learning journey, we aim to offer engaging, hands-on experiences in all subjects to bring learning to life.
A Day in Year 4
Each morning includes daily Reading, English and Maths lessons, along with spelling, handwriting and Ninja Maths practice.
Maths
In Maths, we focus on mental arithmetic—especially times tables and division facts. Children work on fluency and are challenged with reasoning questions. Year 4 pupils take the National Times Table Test and are expected to know all times tables up to 12×12. We support this with regular practice in and outside of lessons, using Times Table Rockstars and Mathsframe.
English
In English, children begin to develop their writer’s voice by exploring different genres, often inspired by class texts with themes relevant to our local community.
Wider Curriculum
Our foundation subjects aim to spark curiosity and develop scientific, historical, artistic and geographical skills. We cater to different learning styles and increase engagement through hands-on activities, educational visits and purposeful use of technology. Learning is shared regularly with parents through Class Dojo.
